英语词汇gothic的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Gothic. After overthrowing Rome in the fifth century, the Gothic tribesmen, an east German people, dominated much of Europe for the next 300 years. Not much is known of them, and their architecture was certainly not Gothic, but Renaissance ar- chitects nevertheless bestowed their names on all buildings characteristic of the Middle Ages, considering such structures crude and barbaric, suitable for the Goths. The 12th-to-16th- century building style, characterized by the pointed arch, as well as Gothic art, Gothic type, and myriad other things, was thereby named for a people who had nothing to do with it.
